The Kiss of Death

Today, with all the uproar going on over the AIG bonuses, the Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that President Obama has ‘complete confidence’ in Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

Timothy Geithner’s days as Treasury Secretary are numbered. Soon he will have to resign to ‘spend more time with his family’.
